Once a crane after much wait & effort gets a big fish. He is very happy with his catch. So to eat in peace it decides to fly to a quite place to eat it.
Soon other cranes & vultures start to follow the crane, primarily to try & get the fish. Now the crane has to flap its wings faster and keep flying and cannot land to enjoy his fish.
The it flashes to him that the fish is the cause of his misery & if he drops the fish he will be left alone.
The fish denotes the material possessions & the other birds chasing denotes the rat race in the material accumulation. Even when we get what we desired it does not ensure peace.
But when we drop the desire & drop out of the race and go on our individual path we are happy.

Apple products
Everything is I Phone, I Pod, I Pad....the "I" is part of the product name and can denote ego and can also be a reminder that each of us who own these things have many forms of ego
On the flip side its God saying "I" am there with you in the phone, in your hand held devices and everywhere
On another note it can be interpreted as the phone does its job not the "I". So "I" is not the doer its using the phone to do what its built of.
Just like we humans were made to do some social good & reach God and we are the executors of Gods will.

Power of thought
For those who doubt this, just imagine your favourite dish & it makes you salivate. Think of the person you hate & it makes you agitated. Thoughts about a tragedy brings tears. Remembering a person you love or a pleasant memory makes you smile.
A thought can make you angry, happy, sad and so on.
A thought is more powerful than we know.
That is why even thinking of God, we get blessed.
The Gita mentions the importance of Bhav / Intention behind every action. The attitude underlying the action is most important. However just having good thoughts & no action is not what it's suggesting.

A kite , Laxmi & Saraswati
Paper flies by chance & Kite with capability
As per the ancient scriptures, there are eight types of wealth. Wealth is not only money. Of course, bank balance is wealth, progeny is also a type of wealth, so is health. If you have the confidence that you can create wealth in any situation, even when the economy is not doing well, you will have courage. That courage and confidence is a wealth. The ability to make friends is a wealth. Knowledge is also wealth.
The goddess of wealth, Laxmi, is floating on the lotus. She moves with the wind. The Goddess of knowledge, Saraswati, is on a rock. A rock is stable. Once you have learnt knowledge, you have learnt it for life. Wealth is not an end in itself. It is the means to an end. Laxmi moves from point to point (monetary wealth is not a constant) where as knowledge stays with you forever.
